Hi All!



A want to upgrade my openvz host on debian squezze. When I run "aptitude
upgrade," it shows me to upgrade base kernel too. Is it recommended? Or is
there a way to exclude original kernel from upgrades?

Doesn't matter - it's installed, but won't be used unless you select it
(not the openvz kernel) on boot from grub or whatever. You can
uninstall the original kernel if you want.

I would definitely upgrade the kernel as there are some new features on part
of cpu load per VZ

If u really don’t want it to be updated type

Aptitude hold <package>

A good starting point is
http://wiki.openvz.org/Resource_shortage
and
http://wiki.openvz.org/UBC_parameter_units

IMHO the most "critical" resource settings are
kmemsize (bytes) : Max size of kernel memory used by VE
privvmapges (pages): Max number of "private" memory pages used by VE
shmpages (pages): Max number of pages for shared memory segments

and additionally the quota and number of inodes for a VE.

Regards

Andreas

It's bad idea to advise UBC nowadays. Everyone should migrate to RHEL6
kernel and use vSwap [1] for that. It's generally simple, has only two
really primary parameters for managing memory.

[1] http://wiki.openvz.org/Vswap

I doubt most "starters" will install a kernel of their choice but use
a distribution like Debian 6 with OpenVZ kernel included. Maybe you
can tell how to find out if the kernel used supports vSwap?

It should be 2.6.32 and the HN should probably be RHEL6 (or its
derivative like SL6/CentOS6). If it's debian -- the user should
install RHEL6's kernel (there was a discussion in the neighbor thread
about debian and proxmox kernel [1]) because debian's kernel don't
have vswap support (that's AFAIR).

Personally, I don't get that thing: using debian as HN. OpenVZ ships
their kernel for RHEL and tests them on RHEL, all the features goes
there first before debian guys will incorporate them into their
kernel. So, maybe it's a good idea to use RHEL as your HN just to
minimize your work, wouldn't you think so? And if you hate RHEL so
much -- hey, it's just the HN, you can do a bazillions of debian CTs
there.

So, I would never recommend debian as a HN.

No one like to use every distribution available and multiple OS in
corperate environment, as with every flavor the management get more
taxing as you for sure already know. If you are a RHEL using company,
fine. But if the only RHEL running systems would be the HN(s) it is
simply not the preferred choice. That might be one of the reasons for
the hype about LXC, to not get sticked with one special distribution
to get the most of it.

As always YMMV
